Even Stephen King said that the movie version of The Shining was much better than his book. It can happen when a different medium pares down a story to its core and rebuilds it after seeing what fits and what doesn't. But if you focus on the details, you often lose the story. I can name many plays, operas, musicals and movies that I actually prefer to the books- just as I can name many books that were way better than their adaptations.
"Go on. Walk on. You must be destroyed." "Good boy! That's the spirit! Bring my miserable line to an end. Up, up! Come, Scientist, destroy me! Destroy your creation! Come!" ~Frankenstein
